PsyLab – a space for psychological education

Loneliness in emigration: the psychology of an experience often kept silent

Moving to a new country is often accompanied by a feeling of loneliness, even when there are people around, or when you have a job or are studying. This is a common and understandable experience that is rarely spoken about openly.

At the meeting, we will discuss why loneliness often arises in emigration; what psychological mechanisms underlie this experience; and how loneliness affects one’s emotional state and the adaptation process.

You will receive psychological education and practical guidance to help you: better understand your inner state; and support yourself in a new social environment.
